The amigo's beautiful and tragic rendition of 'Leader of the Pack' as they follow behind Mumble as he leaves just adds to the heartbreak of the moment even more.Then you're forced to see them outright banished from their home out of prejudice. Her heartache as seeing a bigoted ruling forced onto the child she dearly loves resonates with any parent who loves their child, even in a narrow-minded community that looks down on them for being 'weird'. When Mumble leaves, Memphis repeats the elders chant of 'In the wisdoms, we trust.' to reaffirm his siding with the elders, Norma Jean gives him a betrayed type of expression as she tearfully stares after her son as he leaves.Gloria tries to reach Mumble and begs him not to go, insisting the ruling to be wrong, only to be held back by her parents who order her to stay quiet.Adding salt to the wound, Memphis refuses to defend Mumble, his own son, because he believes Mumble's quirks began with him dropping him as an egg, that they're 'paying the price' as a result, and that him leaving will somehow fix everything.Norma Jean and Gloria, who are heartbroken and on the verge of tears, can only give ignored protests as Mumble is forced to accept this ruling and leaves. (During graduation day, as Mumble went to join his peers in fishing for the first time, the elders even called him a 'bad egg' who will bring tragedy on them simply because he's different.) So when their fish suddenly begin disappearing, they decide that Mumble must be to blame as his differences have angered their god 'the Great 'Guin' and they're being punished as a result. For so long the elders and colony ostracized Mumble due to his inability to sing and instead choosing to dance to express himself considering it abnormal to their 'normal' way of life. Mumble's exile from the colony on the basis the elders blame him for their food shortage.And Gloria’s singing “can anybody find me somebody to love”, as Mumble watches in despair from afar, isn’t just part of the song, nor is it reflecting Mumble’s feelings in the moment - it’s her singing for herself, loving Mumble but fearful they’ll never get to be together. Even Gloria, who clearly does reciprocate his feelings, can only gently give him a look that is begging him to leave for his own sake. Mumble is cast out from the graduation party on the iceberg because of his terrible singing along to “Somebody to Love”.It's heartbreaking to see what's essentially an infant or toddler going through that, especially if the kid doesn't think anything is wrong with them yet are being told so. Many children and adults have gone through a long list of doctors, medication, therapists, and special teachers to try and find out what's 'wrong' with them. It's particularly difficult to watch for a viewer who has/had learning disabilities as a child or an adult.Despite the fact that Mumble acts either stoic or happy mostly all the time, it's easy to tell how much that opinion hurts him by looking at his eyes or body language. When he reveals Mumble was dropped as an egg, Norma Jean and the other penguins, including Mumble who was right behind him, are horrified. The way Memphis thinks his son is 'messed up'.He’s still a very young child, and knows he nearly died and never saw his parents again. All he can do is curl up and cry in a fetal position, terrified from his brush with death that came from trying to find solitude to properly express himself.

Mumble is barely able to escape from the skua flock, but it’s of very small comfort to the young penguin.Miss Viola saying that a penguin without a heart song or ability to sing is 'hardly a penguin at all' - in front of Mumble.Not to mention Gloria's innocent questions and Maurice trying to stop her. Maurice's attempts at comfort (telling him how 'it happens sometimes'), coupled with Memphis's guilt-ridden and heartbroken expression (due to how he previously dropped him as an egg during incubation) is just. All the other chicks are happily running around with their fathers, all the eggs have hatched and the new dads are celebrating their new children, but Memphis' egg.
